My mom was never around much when I was younger she was always asleep or off with her bf or doing something else. She would curse and put my brothers and I down, and leave us in a home with no electricity, water or food while she went to a Rangers baseball game. She would always force us into church when she herself was not living right! My dad was there for us kids always bought us stuff and took us out every week, he lived 11 miles away but he would always stay with us until my mom decided to come home and then he would get up and leave for work then do it all over again. My father is a good man! We had a rough life our parents werent abusive to an Extent, but it was hard b/c they were divorced and they would put us in the middle of things, when we were with my mom we had to hate our dad and with our dad we would have to hate mom...I have 3 small kids 3,2 and 5 months old I am stay at home mom and I get no breaks and when I get annoyed or just aggrevated with my kids I start to raise my voice then I stop and tell my self I will NOT be like my mom and I strive everyday of my life not to be like her, we take our kids places and do things with them, we dont have alot of money but we atleast do things with them as a family, and I make sure they have everythng they need never to hit them or tear them between there father or I. I am NO perfect parent by all means but I tell myself I am not gonna be like this ppl that have kids but dont care for them or treat them like crap, I love my kids and I thank god all the time that he blessed me with my beautiful kids!!
-sorry for the story I guess I just needed to vent holding onto that for 21 ys. thanks god blessWhat were your parents like/ how do you parent?
My parents were mostly out of the picture. They were military, so they were gone from 6-6 most days and then would force me to watch my little sisters on weekends so they could go out. I never could tell them I was afraid of being in the house alone. My bio. mom left me at 2 and we had an on again / off again relationship. She told me when I was 11 that she never wanted to be a mom and left to find herself. I haven't heard from her in 8 years, so I guess she's still looking. All of this is to say that I am SO much better at this parenting gig than they ever were. I have a fifteen year old (who I had at 15) and an eight year old. I am uber-involved and uber-protective. It's us against the world and they both know it. I am proud of the parent I've become and the kids I have a hand in molding. They are 2 of the sweetest kids ever! (Yes, even the teenager-lol!)
My parents were violent, abusive, unfaithfull, addicts, liars, irresponsible with finances, poor, unstable and moved all over the country every few months, ect ect.
The only good thing that I can say about my parents is that they didnt kill me or my brother in the process of all their problems,and that they signed my marriage certificate when I was 17.
I am now 21 with 2 kids and pregnant with what looks like twins. Have been married for 4 yrs this August, together 6 this past March. Bought my house at 19, and live my life minute by minute trying my damndest to not do any of the stuff they did.
wheeew...so yea
Well I watched my mom give into my dad and I always felt like sometimes she was picking my dad over me so I promised I would never do that to my boys and I have stuck to that. My mom was actually a good mom though. She was understanding and would do my homework with me and encourage me to try but if I got a lower grade she never got mad she just helped me try to do better next time but she never said anything negative to me. She made sure I had the things I needed and even now she continues to be a mom to me. She helps me raise my boys and she is just as wonderful as a grandma as she is as a mom.
my parents were strict and my brother and I were always on restriction to our rooms...it became sooo bad that my girlfriend would come to my window and sit in the grass and play barbies with me. AWWW
AS for my parenting, I am not that way, I am a little more tolerable and put up with alot more. If needed things get taken away for a day or two or a week...depends on circumstance.
they're really nice and sweet
but they're so frickin overprotective! eg-';you can't walk outside b/c you're a girl.'; wtf?
and they expect me to watch nickelodeon the rest of my life
